Jerry, I had an EverStart (Walmart) in my '91MV for 6 years. It never failed to crank the van even after weekends of running interior lights and radio etc. I finally replaced it , thinking It has has to die soon. I wired it up as a second battery and am running my lights/sounds/mobile ham radio from it going on 2 years now. No problems at all.
